The Undergraduate Research Symposium

In 2008, the Honors College Student Ambassadors began the Undergraduate Research Symposium (URS). The goal was two-fold: to share research with fellow students and to gain experience in preparation for future conferences. Today, the URS continues to provide a forum where all SHSU undergraduate students can present their research to others in a professional environment while giving students the opportunity to gain expertise in their field and to receive feedback from other scholars and members of the academic community. Additionally, the URS offers three $500 awards: The Assam Scholarship for Honors Research Award, The Honors College Award for Best Overall Oral-Media Presentation, and the Honors College Award for Best Overall Poster. Other awards include honorable mention awards, the E.U.R.E.C.A. Award for Best FAST Oral Media Presentation, and the E.U.R.E.C.A. Award for Best FAST Poster. The URS is supported by the faculty and staff of the Elliott T. Bowers Honors College.
